Smith’s Ceramics Demolished on Bangor’s Main Street

Smith’s Ceramics no longer stands on the corner of Main and Cedar Streets in Bangor.Demolition started this morning on the home and business that had been there for more than 50 years.Last year, the owners were told they’d have to move under eminent domain laws, as the city reconstructs the traffic pattern in the area.While Teresa Wong and her family have since moved, she says it was still an emotional day to watch it all come down.”It’s like saying good-bye to a loved one, you know. The building served us well all these years and it’s home. So I have to say goodbye,” she says.The demolition took much of the morning. The Wong’s new location is the Creative Arts Center in Brewer.
